For all those of you who can't believe you've finally met me in the flesh... here's the photographic evidence!

UFO fans are the most wonderful people in the world - and I have the Ferrero Rochers to prove it!
Here, in no particular order, are some photos from the April/May 2008 USA roadtrip.
If you haven't sent your photos in yet - please send them HERE - but I'm only gonna include them if you've managed to make me look skinny.

I asked Axe for a double gin, but he thought I'd said 'double chin'.  It's a trick of the light, I tell ya!

And here's Bumblefoot, a truly wonderful fella, and a hero of mine since long before he joined Guns N' Roses. Blimey I was glowing that day.

And here he is again, kissing me on one cheek whilst he pinches me on another - but it would seem that he's grabbed Rob's cheek by mistake.
"Just call me Mr. Squeeze, if you please"
